Save the words

Words that have fallen out of regular use ask you to adopt them - i.e. agree to use them regularly.

Some great words that are worth knowing just for their scrabble values. And because they sound cool. Examples include:

Quaeritate (to ask)Odynometer (an instrument for measuring pain - nice word for a horror writer? I'm sure an evil character could find a use for one of those...) Viliorate (to deteriorate)Snollygoster (a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician - appropriate for the times we live in!)

...go check out the site! I'm sure we could all improve our vocabulary!
